I am converting my 40 gallon long freshwater tank to saltwater and want a reef tank. Should I get a HOB filter or build a sump? Also would I need a protein skimmer? I am planning on getting 40lb of live rock and 40lb live sand. At the moment I have Arcadia F030 T8 lights (4500 kelvin) Are these OK for soft corals and polyps? Also if I have to build a sump what equipment would I need? I have a spare 10 gallon that I could use. Sorry for all the questions but don't want to get anything wrong!
